Customer Reviews
Easy listening and Informative 🫶🏻
Very well organized and executed. I learn something new every episode, if not several new things.
When you said your favorite actor is Gary Oldman (me too!!). I just knew I’d like to hear what you have to share with us. I was right, keep up the great work.
Like talking to a friend
Thank you so much for this podcast. I have been looking for a film history podcast that is easy to listen to, and actually teaches me versus having to hear someones opinion on a thing. The themes are almost always something I’m interested in, and even if they aren’t I still at least give it a shot.
Great!
Great podcast. Informative and well researched. Hard to find consistently great film podcasts and this one is always great. It’s usually easy to skip podcasts when they do a movie you don’t like but here there’s always something new to learn and it’s usually a wide net where you don’t want to skip!
